Actually the destination initially we fixed was one and we explored another fine destination. The first fixed destination was Rasimanal but we ventured to Biligundlu.  Rasimanal is the place on the banks of river Cauvery. I came to know about this place,  couple of years back on daily newspaper regarding the erection of hydroelectric power stations between Krishnaraja Sagar(KRS) dam and Mettur dam. The proposed place to construct the power plant is Sivasamudram, Makedatu, Rasimanal
